That's just weird

I went for a trail run at lunch time a couple of days ago, and, since I was a bit toasty afterward, I drove back to work with the windows open.

I immediately had a massive allergy attack. Constant sneezing for about 15 minutes, then the delightful fun of a runny nose and sneezing for the rest of the day, and even overnight until I could get to the store for some (generic) Zyrtec©™. It was delightful.

So, you think, what's the big deal about that? Lots of people get allergies, you pansy.

Feh, I say to you! It's January! WTF?

I've been fighting "hay fever" my whole life. Done the shots, every medicine under the sun, etc. And, since I've always lived in the Willamette Valley of Oregon (the "Grass Seed Capitol of the World" as the sign on I-5 says), and I like it here, I've known I was stuck with that situation.

But I've never had an allergy attack in January. That's just plain wrong.

I think I'll blame Al Gore since he invented global warming. Suck it, Al, you fat bastard.
